Is sprite good for vomiting?

Question

I've been feeling quite sick and threw up this morning. My wife suggested I drink some Sprite to settle my stomach. Is Sprite actually good for vomiting, or should I stick to water?

Dekho, simple baat hai, cold drink pine se vomiting thik nahi hoti. Thoda temporary relief mil sakta hai par andar ka infection thik nahi hoga. ORS ya nimbu pani piyo, aur jyada dikkat hai toh doctor ko dikhao.

I used to drink Sprite whenever I felt sick during my travels, and it did help settle my stomach sometimes. But I wouldn't recommend it as a proper treatment if you are vomiting continuously.

Not really. Sprite is full of empty sugars and carbonation which can actually irritate a weak stomach lining. Stick to clean liquids like coconut water or dilute electrolyte drinks to recover lost fluids.

I was told by a friend that the bubbles help with nausea, but is the high sugar content safe if you already have an upset stomach? Should we flat the drink before having it?

Meera Joshi · Answer

My doctor specifically told me to avoid carbonated beverages like Sprite during a stomach bug. The high sugar content can actually draw water into the gut and make diarrhea or vomiting worse. Plain electral water is much better.

Please be very careful. When I had food poisoning, I kept drinking soda thinking it would help, but it delayed my treatment and I had to be hospitalized for severe dehydration. If you are vomiting repeatedly, please see a doctor immediately.
